    I went to school with her at Columbia and when she boarded the plane for Jamaica, we had no idea she would be such an icon. She was a dear friend. I truly miss her. #OneLovePuma Miss you, girl.

      Saw her on a record cover in the early eighties when i got heavily into roots reggae and fell in love with her.Itwas hard back in those days to get pictures or news about bands and artists we liked, so when I got a Black Uhuru poster, I was really exited. I learned quite late, that she passed away and it made me so sad ..I adored her so much and still do ...bless her soul. Peace out from Germany.

    Since I was a yout man of 8 or 9 years old I found something mystifying about the sound of the GREAT black uhuru ...and it wasn't until I grew a little older o was actually able to separate and isolate the hauntingly beautiful and effortless vocal of Queen Puma, may your soul rest in eternal peace , your contribution to the art of reggae music is solidified within the very history of it !

      She would have loved that *the crush). She was a Libra, very spiritual, very mystical and fun loving. Oh, the parties she would take us to when we were in grad school. Parties in beautiful, huge apartments in Harlem where jazz ensembles would play. She was a very wise sage. I'm blessed to have known her as a colleague and friend. She was a deep sister.
